EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View Towards the Pettah or Native Quarter, Colombo, Showing Khan Clock Tower" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century Sri Lanka. Captured by artist Alfred William Amandus Plate in 1890 but published in 1910 as part of The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon collection, this image offers a unique glimpse into the bustling transportation scene of that era. From an elevated perspective, we witness a busy road filled with various vehicles traversing through the heart of Colombo. The iconic Khan Clock Tower stands tall amidst the chaos, serving as a timeless symbol of this Asian city's rich heritage. As our eyes wander across this monochrome vista, we are transported to a different time and place where covered wagons dominate the landscape. The composition exudes an air of nostalgia and invites us to explore every intricate detail within its frame. This aerial view showcases not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into daily life activities taking place along each lane and avenue. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece from Plate Ltd. , it becomes evident that it is more than just a photograph; it is a piece of literature capturing an entire century's worth of history. With its evocative charm and cultural significance, this print serves as both an artistic delight and historical documentation for those captivated by Sri Lanka's enchanting past.
